Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
With the support and supervision of a Principal Clinical Psychologist you will provide specialist psychological assessments, formulations, and evidence based psychological interventions (individual and group) to service users accessing the non-psychosis pathway of the Community Mental Health Team presenting with complex and enduring mental health difficulties.
The role also includes joint work with colleagues in the form of team formulation, staff training, support and consultation around psychological issues and reflective practice.
The department has close links with the local D Clin Course and there is ample opportunity to be involved in the supervision of Trainee Clinical Psychologists. We also have links with local MSc courses and other NHS England funded courses and welcome placement opportunities regularly.
You will also be encouraged to be involved in audit, service development, evaluation and research activities.
